Together Solo & Indrė blends Lithuanian and African musical traditions, their sound is spontaneous and natural, sensual and deep. Being considerably new to music industry, Solo & Indrė have already been recognized and well evaluated both by world music professionals and audience – they appeared in various festivals in Europe and US and won in the “World Music Network‘s“ band competition.
